BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – Former New York Times journalist Bari Weiss confronted CNN’s Brian Stelter about his network’s coverage of the COVID-19 lab leak theory when listing examples of why the world has gone mad during Sunday’s edition of “Reliable Sources.”
Weiss has written that many Americans “feel the world has gone mad,” so the left-wing CNN host asked her what she meant by that comment.
“Where can I start?” began Weiss. “Well, when you have the chief reporter on the beat of COVID for The New York Times talking about how questioning or pursuing the question of the lab leak is racist, the world has gone mad. When you’re not able to say out loud and in public there are differences between men and women, the world has gone mad. When we’re not allowed to acknowledge that rioting is rioting and it is bad and that silence is not violence, but violence is violence, the world has gone mad. People who work at networks, frankly, like the one I’m speaking on right now, to say it was racist to investigate the lab leak theory.”
“Now wait just a minute!” Stelter interrupted. “CNN has not gone mad! Sure there is a lot of mental instability at this network with most of the hosts, no one is doubting that. But to say that we’re all mad is an exaggeration, whereas I put the numbers at about 50%.”
